Valve hints at Steam Summer Sale very soon

Check your calendars, it's just about time for one of the biggest annual events in gaming. No, not E3, that one's been and gone. I'm talking about the Steam Summer Sale, which notoriously sneaks up on unsuspecting wallets and attacks with great vengeance.

Now, Valve has not revealed any concrete dates for the sale just yet, but a recent announcement has fueled rumours that it's coming up very soon.

Following a super-successful beta test, the new functionality will be rolled out on Wednesday. The team's still working furiously behind the scenes, iterating existing features and creating new ones (like the oft-promised Trade Offers and Card Binder), but there's no reason to keep things under wraps any longer.
